WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Assemblies of God District Leadership
The Acts 2 Intensive is designed to lead attendees through the content of all four retreats of the one-year Acts 2 Journey cohort over the course of two days. If you’d like to become acquainted with the entire Acts 2 Journey cohort system and explore embedding a church health template into the culture of your district or network, the Intensive provides an opportunity to be immersed in the process.
Pastors with a passion for mentoring others
Many district leaders recognized the value of having sectional presbyters attend the Intensive who could be trained to lead an Acts 2 Journey within a district or network or to provide follow-up training and accountability to churches that have previously participated in the Acts 2 Journey Cohort.
Leaders interested in joining the church health movement within the World Assemblies of God Fellowship
The Acts 2 Journey is a biblically based, stylistically neutral template that provides leadership alignment, fresh vision, and strategy to help your church grow younger, pass on the faith to next generations, and engage Jesus-followers in missional living. Whatever your role in the local church, discover how it connects to fulfilling the vision of seeing a healthy church in every community!
